Abstract
Teachers have employed in-class oral presentations to practice the pre-service teachers’ speaking skills as they are prepared to become future English teachers who are fluent in communication using English in a globalization era, However, effectively assessing student presentations is challenging, particularly in terms of practical administration of assessment. Therefore, a video recording as an alternative assessment tool was utilized to provide opportunities for learners and their peers to evaluate their speaking and presentation skills. They will need to combine video-camera on their cell phones or tablets and the use e-google form to give immediate feedback for their improvement. The study used a qualitative descriptive method. The data were gathered from the students’ recording videos, reflective journal, feedback from e-google form. The results showed that students got more enthusiastic in presenting their ideas using the video-camera. Furthermore, presentation skills such as the use of eye contact, body posture, and voice were found as other factors that supported the English speaking skills of the pre-service teachers.
Highlights
Assessing student’s speaking and presentation skills could be a challenging task, especially in terms of effectiveness and practicality
This study aims to investigate the use of recorded-video to assess students’ speaking and presentation skills in their language learning and how they see the value of integrating technology within the learning process
Though there were grammatical mistakes had by the students, but they were able to perform fluency in expressing their ideas in a natural way. This was supported by their presentation skills, such as the use of eye-contact, body gesture, and voice that were performed well during the recorded-video speaking and presentation performance
Summary
Assessing student’s speaking and presentation skills could be a challenging task, especially in terms of effectiveness and practicality. It involves lengthy, time-consuming assessment and evaluation of students’ performance, while with the help of technology, the problem can be resolved easier. Utilizing integrated assessment tools of a recorded-video and e-google form seems very promising In other words, both the teacher and the students will find it very helpful in relation with flexibility, effectiveness, and practicality. The students can record their speaking and presentation video outside the classroom, while the teacher can do something else rather than watching the students’ performance alive in the classroom. Educators need to be aware of both the benefits and challenges of integrating technology within students’ learning process
